Is there a regex to match  all characters including newlines     For example  in the regex below  there is no output from  2 because       doesn t include new lines when matching    string    START Curabitur mollis  dolor ut rutrum consequat  arcu nisl ultrices diam  adipiscing aliquam ipsum metus id velit  Aenean vestibulum gravida felis  quis bibendum nisl euismod ut    Nunc at orci sed quam pharetra congue  Nulla a justo vitae diam eleifend dictum  Maecenas egestas ipsum elementum dui sollicitudin tempus  Donec bibendum cursus nisi  vitae convallis ante ornare a  Curabitur libero lorem  semper sit amet cursus at  cursus id purus  Cras varius metus eu diam vulputate vel elementum mauris tempor    Morbi tristique interdum libero  eu pulvinar elit fringilla vel  Curabitur fringilla bibendum urna  ullamcorper placerat quam fermentum id  Nunc aliquam  nunc sit amet bibendum lacinia  magna massa auctor enim  nec dictum sapien eros in arcu    Pellentesque viverra ullamcorper lectus  a facilisis ipsum tempus et  Nulla mi enim  interdum at imperdiet eget  bibendum nec END     string      START       END     print  2

Add the s modifier to your regex to cause   to match newlines    string      START       END  s

If you don t want add the  s regex modifier  perhaps you still want   to retain its original meaning elsewhere in the regex   you may also use a character class   One possibility     S s    a character which is not a space or is a space  In other words  any character   You can also change modifiers locally in a small part of the regex  like so     s
